DOS Compatibility Card: DOSClip Causes DOS Crash (5/96)


I am using Harvard Graphics v3.0 on the DOS Compatibility Card and when I try to copy from the MS-DOS environment to the Macintosh OS, and then go back to the MS-DOS environment, the system crashes. The message I get is:

"Memory allocation error
Cannot load COMMAND, system halted"
This problem is caused by not loading the SmartDrive into high memory. To correct this you need to change your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.

In the CONFIG.SYS File
======================

Add the following line:

If you are using PC Setup 1.0.7 lines are:
------------------------------------------
DEVICE=C:\\DOS\\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=C800-CFFF RAM=D000-EFFF

or

DEVICE=C:\\DOS\\EMM386.EXE X=C800-CFFF RAM=D000-EFFF

For PC Setup 1.5, the lines are:
--------------------------------
DEVICE=C:\\DOS\\EMM386.EXE NOEMS I=CA00-CBFF X=CC00-CFFF RAM=D000-EFFF

or

DEVICE=C:\\DOS\\EMM386.EXE I=CA00-CBFF X=CC00-CFFF RAM=D000-EFFF


Also change the following line:

From - DOS=HIGH to DOS=HIGH,UMB


In the AUTOEXEC.BAT File
========================

Placed LH before C:\\DOS\\SMARTDRV.EXE /X in the autoexec.bat.
